The Hybrid UPS was developed in 2020 to solve a real problem — unreliable grid supply, long approval timelines and increasing operational risk for commercial operations across South Africa.
Rather than improving traditional systems, Herman Redelinghuys developed a completely new approach — one that removes grid dependence as the primary power source while retaining it as a secure, controlled backup.
In partnership with Huawei Digital Power, the concept evolved into a fully integrated commercial-scale platform. From April 2024, Herman and Clive Ferreira began transforming the Hybrid UPS into a bankable solution — aligning the technical design with funder requirements and commercial deployment models.
Herman Redelinghuys and Bernard Bekker develop the Hybrid UPS concept — a non-parallel architecture removing grid dependency as the primary power source.
Systems deployed across Penflex and Rembrandt Mall — continuously refined through real-world deployment, proving commercial-scale delivery capability.
Clive Ferreira joins Herman to develop the bankable commercial model — aligning engineering with infrastructure capital and PPA structures.

First fully structured project within the group pipeline. Technically proven, financially bankable and ready for commercial rollout across Africa.
Vector Energy Africa's model is structured for institutional investment. We develop, own and operate energy assets under long-term PPAs — creating stable, contracted revenue streams attractive to infrastructure-focused capital.
Projects are structured through dedicated SPVs, enabling clean separation of assets, ring-fenced cash flows and long-term infrastructure ownership — aligned with institutional and development finance investor requirements.
We are actively seeking co-investment partners, development finance institutions and infrastructure funds to scale our pipeline across South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.
